Law firm Mason Hayes and Curran has been ordered to retrain its managers on disability policies and pay €5,000 compensation to a dismissed solicitor suffering from long Covid and depression following a ruling that it discriminated against him.

The company, one of Ireland’s largest law practices with a turnover of €114m last year, has also been given three months to provide training to senior managers on its anti-discrimination policies by the Workplace Relations Commission.
